Climate fluctuation is producing new knowledge and interpretation among the indigenous people in Himalayas. This paper argues that tourism as an immerging area of sources of livelihood to cope with climate change. This paper presents climate dynamics and tourism among the Himalayan Sherpa community of Tembathang at Jugal rural municipality in Sindhupalchok district. This paper is based on a brief ethnographic study of the high Himalayan community. It illustrates how people interact, faces challenges, and adapt to the changing climatic situation. This study is based on ethnography, participant observation, interviews and life history, among the local farmers, elderly people and villagers. This region is one of the most potential destinations for mountaineering, trekking, pilgrimage as well as goth stay tourism, but Tembathag has been excluded from government policies and not been noticed as a tourist-driven place to date. In this paper, four main issues are highlighted: First, why the region is excluded from the mainstream of the government; second, how climatic fluctuations and changes have been fading up the natural charm of the region; third, why this land and its beauty is yet hidden from the eyes of visitors and what can be the possible opportunities and challenges of tourism in Tembathang. Focusing on these issues, the paper demonstrates how climate shapes the local cultural affairs. Thus, it would be a new place for learning, enjoying, and earning for tourist as well as natives. It could uplift the alternative source for earning by serving and providing hospitality and giving space for entertainment and pleasure. Here, I’ve used the cultural ecological perspective to unfold the present scenario of climate in the region.
